I built the slides completely in Keynote – giving PowerPoint the snub. I’ve been having a lot of issues with all Microsoft products and not being able to handle things that are copied and pasted – Keynote doesn’t seem to have that issue. It seemed to work out a lot better, but there are some quirks that I don’t know how to remedy yet – like how to turn off bullet points.
The presentation itself was a lot of fun – a lot of great people there, willing to learn and ask lots of questions. I’m hoping to teach the Twitter class again, but not sure when I’ll do repeat classes. I was thinking the presentation itself would take up only about 15 minutes and the rest would be for discussion. I was way wrong – the whole presentation took 45 minutes. Had some great feedback, too:
“Nick has a unique gift for knowing WAY more than you do, yet teaching you generously without making you feel like a complete idiot. And you leave with some knowledge and some confidence in a very short time.”
“Valuable information for beginners and beyond, at a great price! I learned a lot and left feeling rather inspired, and confident enough to attack some issues I needed to conquer to make Twitter more useful. Thanks!”
I’ll definitely have some adjusting to do get ready for $1 101 on Facebook next week.
All in all, I would call it a victory. Here’s the slides:
Events – Fort Collins Digital Gunslingers and Web Wranglers
Digital Gunslingers $1 Twitter 101 – Success!
Tonight was the very first Digital Gunslingers class – $1 101 on Twitter.
